Linda Khachadurian SweetArt

My artworks about social causes are made with long-lasting edible mediums and have accompanying written materials to inform the public and raise awareness. These sculptures and 3-D paintings have been displayed in multiple East Coast galleries and in public venues ranging from The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in LA to the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Manhattan to the New England Botanic Gardens.

Exhibitions are listed in chronological order; scroll to the bottom for the most recent/upcoming ones.
